Hello World!

Alias premiered in Australia last night and by God, this show rocks! It reminded me a little of Dark Angel, but is infinitely superior, especially because there's no Jessica Alba.

J.J. Abrams deftly juggled several different time-frames without dropping a ball and navigated all the twist and turns with ease. Quite simply, it was an exceptional pilot.

I was a little sceptical initially, because the "student who moonlights as a secret agent" premise could come off as hokey and cliched in the wrong hands. But this was pretty darn good. Can't wait for next week's episode.
